Pemberton Meadows Wedding

When I think of a Pemberton Meadows wedding, this is exactly what comes to mind. It may not be on farmland, but the true rawness of Vicky and Tom’s celebration immediately brought the feeling of home. Barking Frog Lodge has the backyard vibes I always dream of photographing. Wild Havens glamping tents and camping gear surrounded the property so that all their family from near and far could stay onsite. Beautiful mountains and farmland reflected the amazing weather they received, overcast with snippets of sunshine, not too hot and a deep blue evening sky. This is Pemberton at its finest.

I’ve been lucky to get to know Vicky and Tom over the course of the last year. We did some engagement photos (check out their session here), drank some beers, and met up on occasion beyond their wedding planning. It’s always a bonus when your clients become your friends. These two are pretty easy to get along with and that was very evident by the amount of support they received from their Whistler family on their wedding day.

We decided to use the front door of the lodge for their “first look”, and their anticipation was so exciting to photograph. Aside from positioning them in certain light, there was no direction needed. These two giggled and kissed with their whole bodies. It was as though this day couldn’t have come any sooner. The ceremony included personal vows that spoke of constellations and their epic adventures they have shared over the course of their relationship. I always enjoy listening in to this part of the celebration all the while trying to catch the tears, laughter, and adrenaline. It truly is a rad moment when you marry your best friend.

A long table dinner fitted with BC wines and home made brews kicked off the evening. The Collective Kitchen always doing family style justice. I could literally photograph their food for days… and then eat it of course. Speeches involving rapping and leather thongs, honestly, the things I hear while I’m at weddings! It’s a perk of the job really.

As the sun set behind the mountains and the sky turned dark it became all about the dancing. DJ Foxy Moron had me grooving in my seat as I sat down to have a beer after their coverage was finished. I ended up just hanging out for another hour or so taking in the day and watching how much fun everyone was having. So grateful to have worked alongside so many amazing vendors on this one. This post may be a tad long, but it was hard to keep some of these images out! I hope you enjoy this preview of Vicky and Tom’s wedding celebration in the beautiful Pemberton Meadows.
